Could microbiology be the key to unlocking the full potential of anaerobic digestion for treating RAS solid waste? An engineer’s perspective

Presented by Abhinav Choudhury, environmental research engineer at The Freshwater Institute

Anaerobic digestion is a biological process that could be effective for treating different waste streams (sludge, mortalities, offal) generated in recirculating aquaculture system (RAS) facilities, in addition to producing renewable energy. This presentation will discuss challenges associated with the digestion of these waste streams and why microbial analysis could be a useful tool for engineering solutions to some of these challenges.
